Kings Of Leon have ever so slightly expanded their ambitious spring UK touring schedule, and will now perform in Glasgow this coming June.
The date at the city’s Hydro Arena on June 20th adds to already confirmed arena shows in Sheffield and Manchester, while outdoor gigs at Newcastle’s St James’ Park and the Milton Keynes Bowl are also on the horizon. As is an open air show in Dublin, which arrives on July 4th in Marlay Park.
The huge shows hit us following the release of Kings Of Leon’s 2013 LP ‘Mechanical Bull‘, which has seemingly quite emphatically continued the Followill family’s rise to genuine rock superstardom.
In our review of the album, Live4ever reflected on another disappointing release from the band despite that success. “For the large part, the album lacks any genuine energy, any power-combustion excitement or depth, and is instead the sound of a band artfully going through the motions,” the review reads.
